January 8, 2010 - 2007 Alexandria Nicole Gravity Merlot
The Swirl: Dark plum in the center with a light ruby at glass edge. No visible sign of legs
The Sniff: Spicy leather and cherries jubilee with some chocolate shavings on top.
The Sip: Good tannins but presented a mild hot alcohol on the back end. Not a typical smooth Merlot, had a big bold taste.
The Score: At $24, I score this a 3+. It's a well made wine but seemed a little off balance to score as a 4 or higher. -

December 12, 2009 - This very small winery had excellent reviews, and I was quite interested to try this. It was not a disappointment. The fine background notes of chocolate and smoke only add to the complexity. Nothing like a nice cabernet on a cold winter's night.

November 1, 2009 - 16% Mabec, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Cab Franc, 1% Carmenere. Ripe dark berry nose. Ripe cherry palate with chocolate and loads of spice. Rich and full bodied – not your everyday Merlot. Medium length finish. Nice.
